Chapter 24 - For Who He Was (2/2)

After his Dad passed away, it was now his responsibility. He always come here whenever he felt uneasy, and today was no different.

There were three chairs, with a table, placed at the back side of the garden. That was the only side of the garden that was not bounded by the plants, but instead had railings covered completely by beautiful creepers.

Adam sat down on one of the chairs and looked into the distance. After a few minutes the old butler came with his coffee. He placed the coffee before Adam and quietly retreated back, going downstairs.

Adam looked at the dark night sky. It was clear, with no clouds in sight to hide the wonders the sky could flash.

His thoughts drifted back to what Blake had said to him. He was in a dilemma. He didn't want Stella to like him for his face or money. He wanted her to like him for who he was as a person. But Blake had a point, to make Stella take notice of him, he had to do something before it's too late.

'First I have to make sure she doesn't have a boyfriend. Though she doesn't look like to have one, but I still have to make of it.' He thought to himself. 'But what if there is one. I have to work harder to get rid of him.' He heaved out a long sigh.

'Why is it so hard to get a girl whom you really like?' He was frustrated.

Adam picked up his coffee looking back at the sky. There were numerous stars, glimmering like diamonds against the dark background.

”I wish you were here with me today, Mom and Dad.” He spoke to one in particular.

”I wish you were here to guide me today.” He said taking sips from his coffee.

His gaze landed on the moon, brightening up the dark night yet standing alone among the sea of stars.

”I don't want to be alone anymore like the moon. I want someone with whom I can spend the rest of my life, share my happiness and sadness with, someone who will be the center of my life. And I think I have found that someone.” He said, looking up at the sky.

”Mom, Dad! I may have found that someone finally. Someone whom I want to spend the rest of my life with. I will bring her to meet you guys once she's mine. Wish me luck.”

He gulped down the remaining of his coffee and headed downstairs to his room. He had made up his mind that no matter what and no matter how long it will take, he will make Stella his.
